I have a problem with an interpretation that would make illegal not  
only revealing disclosure, but also revealing bids, doubles,  
redoubles and passes.  If "in any manner" is so totally absolute as  
to encompass one's explicitly mandated explanations, how can it not  
also encompass one's calls?  If I am justified in refusing to give UI  
by my explanations of my methods, must I not, for consistency, refuse  
to give the identical UI through my choice of calls?
